Israel seeks to sabotage Iran nuclear talks: Zarif

Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says Israel is trying to sabotage the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the six world powers.
The Zionists have the most fear about the success of the talks and, considering their active presence in the Western media, there is a strong possibility that they may make different - and sometimes outrageous - efforts to disrupt the negotiations, said Zarif in a Friday message on his Facebook page.

The Iranian foreign minister denounced the Israeli media hype against Irans nuclear energy program as a sign of the frustration of warmongers.

Zarif noted that Iran and the six powers have agreed to keep the contents of the talks confidential in an attempt to avert the potential negative effects of propaganda.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the United States, China, Russia, France and Britain - plus Germany held two days of negotiations over Tehrans nuclear energy program behind closed doors in the Swiss city of Geneva on October 15-16.

During a meeting on October 15, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif presented Irans proposal titled "Closing an Unnecessary Crisis, Opening a New Horizon" to EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, and the representatives of the six countries. The two sides agreed to keep the details of the proposal confidential for the time being.

Following the negotiations, Ashton lauded the talks as the most detailed and substantive ever between the two sides, describing Irans new proposal as an important contribution.

Iran and the six powers agreed to meet again in Geneva on November 7-8.
